Chess Boxing Clubs

I thought that Chess Boxing would be a hit for a short time, bring in some fast cash for the manager of the club, and then quickly die out. Such is not the case.

Chess boxing is growing, and they are having a world championship meet for the Cruiser weight title in chess boxing, on September 1st. And on Jun 23rd 2007 (this weekend) they are having a match in Berlin.

This sport has captivated me since I first heard of it last year, and if a club popped up locally I would totally join it! I think it is a great test of mind AND body, and not many sports have both as well Incorporated as chess boxing. Playing a game of chess, then getting punch drunk, then playing another round of chess, repeated time after time certainly is a great test of the constitution of the mind and body! So lets get this sport into America!!!

Here is a little something that might interest you, It is a Chess Boxing Video Clip using windows media player. For those of you savvy German it should be doubly interesting, I'm afraid all I understood was the words discipline (probably spelled differently) Amsterdam, and boxer.
